Nora’s Salon South: Laws of the Universe
by Suzanne Trauth

Tuesday, October 15th at 7pm
in downtown Montgomery, AL

Astrophysicist Dr. Stella loves her work at the planetarium’s science education program—teaching young students about the laws of the universe in fun and practical ways, sharing her love of the stars and black holes. However, a health crisis forces her to face her past, including her responsibility for the child she left behind years ago. Life for Stella and her wife Bree gets complicated when that abandoned child is hired as a visiting professor in environmental education. Coming face-to-face with her daughter Zoe is both heart-rending and exciting: an opportunity to mentor a rising star in her field and to make up for the sins of her past.

Nora’s Salon South: The Backup Planner
by Lou Clyde

Thursday, May 30th at 7pm
in Cloverdale, Montgomery, AL

The Backup Planner is the story of single mother Jan who holds high aspirations for her high school daughter, Sophie. Jan, who is grieving from the death of her own mother, wants Sophie to go to college, while college is the last thing on Sophie’s mind. Jan creates a backup plan for Sophie by applying to college for her. Jan’s best friend Keisha also needs a backup plan since a traditional path to motherhood is not working for her. The Backup Planner is the story of three strong independent women whose goals and aspirations share a common thread.
